NPR Reporter Says Right Wing Has Sullied ACORN’s Image

National Public Radio’s Kevin Whitelaw blames “right wing ideologues” for destroying the reputation of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, more commonly known by its acronym—ACORN.

“By relentlessly focusing on ACORN’s election fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement and other criminal activities, right wing fanatics are overshadowing the significant accomplishments of this great organization,” Whitelaw contends. “They’ve gotten millions enrolled for welfare. They got millions to vote for Obama.”

Whitelaw characterized recent revelations that ACORN employees advised applicants on how to set up an illegal prostitution business as “misguided zealotry.” “It’s easy for those who earn an honest living to ridicule the lifestyles of the underclass,” he said. “But prostitution may be the only reasonable opportunity for upward mobility for high school drop-outs, substance abusers, and welfare recipients.”

“I think if we balance the pluses and minuses, ACORN clearly benefits the country,” Whitelaw added. “It is a key proponent of the kind of change the President has promised for America.”

Isn’t satire supposed to be. Not true?

It’s become almost impossible to tell anymore.

“By relentlessly focusing on ACORN’s election fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement and other criminal activities, right wing fanatics are overshadowing the significant accomplishments of this great organization,”

They don't even see the absurdity of statements like this, how the first clause renders the second urrelevant.
The election fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement and other criminal activities are, in fact, the significant activities of the organization.

[Lakeshark]

Heh.

It's satire. Caught me too.

Ha! If conservatives would just quit picking on all the otherwise innocent defrauders, mismanagers, embezzlers, and other criminals then suckers would see how upstanding they all are. Except for being criminals, they're just great!

Thanks once again for the head shakin’, Aw GEEEEZ chuckle John.

[SoldierDad]

Um, you know, slave owners made significant contributions to the country! Should we really engage in this kind of stupidity Mr. NPR moron?

[arthurus]

With those people how can you tell?????

[Migraine]

“By relentlessly focusing on ACORN’s election fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement and other criminal activities, right wing fanatics are overshadowing the significant accomplishments of this great organization,”

Wow. To hear him tell it, being right wing is worse than "fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement and other criminal activities." Go around that mulberry bush a while and wonder what planet you're on.

[Lakeshark]

My exact thoughts after being caught with my hand so deep in the cookie jar........

:-)

[Migraine]

Aw, geez; I’ve been had. I hate that. You never know when you’re reading satire because no satirist could ever be clever enough to write the stuff these clowns REALLY do and say. So stop it already.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

This is just the old

99% of the lawyers give the other 1% a bad name.

[GeronL]

[AmericanInTokyo]

Is this the part where they call the WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE??!

(Or do they, NPR, order up another round of Mr. Schweddy's Balls, at this point?)

[VRWC For Truth]
